French term or phrase: se trouve aux droits

They have been talking about a substitution in the context of a sub-lease:

Aux termes d'un écrit sous seing privé, la Sarl XXX a substitué la SCI XXX dans ses droits et obligations résultant de la promesse susvisée, de sorte que la SCI XXX se trouve aujourd'hui aux droits du promettant d'origine.

I can't think of a way to say this that I'm happy with. I'm drawing a blank.

Thanks!

I'd prefer a little more context to find a more suitable set of terms but this should give you the idea.

Notes to answerer

Asker: What I posted is the entire section on this topic, unfortunately. This seems to be all it has to say about the substitution.

18 hrs confidence:

finds itself (substituted) in the rights

Explanation:
No harm repeating the substitution or even, as in a recent ProZ FR>EN question, using subrogation in a non-insurance context.

Note that on the Channel Islands, until 1971, when conveyances of land used to be all written in Norman-French, a literal translation into EN of 'find itself or acting in the rights of another party' was commonplace.
